I am not afraid to admit that I had to download the dictionary app on my phone when I started reading this! I found the first half of this book to be a little slow, but as the story picked up I became more invested. The writing was very lyrical (which I expected going into a prominent classic), but still thoroughly appreciated. As I continue to dwell on the themes and historical context of this book, I know that my understanding and appreciation will grow deeper. I can also see myself re-reading this in the future. Overall, a great classic for someone relatively new to these types of literature.
